    Overwhelming endless corridors and barriers, no clear direction.

    It’s our sixth visit to NYC, especially Manhattan. This is the first time we decided to visit museums and The Metropolitan Museum of Art was the one we got very excited about. With the second largest collection of impressionist art in the world after Paris,...More

    The Metropolitan Museum of Art

    The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a fantastic exhibition now: Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination. It is one not to be missed. You should be aware that it is on several different floors. The costumes by various famous designers are amazing.

    A worthy memorial

    The memorial basins are absolutely stunning and worth to remember all those who died in this horrendous event. The museum is impressive but it covers to much ground and has therefor to much repetition to it. It feels like it had to be spun out...More

    Deserves its Reputation

    One of the best in the world. The only reason for not getting 5 stars is that many of the rooms with early European paintings were blocked off. I especially enjoyed the Midieval Art and Arms and Armor exhibits.
